Joel Diomar "JD" Cagulangan (born January 24, 2000) is a Filipino basketball player for the UP Fighting Maroons of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).
Early life
Cagulangan first played for Northern Mindanao in the 2013 Palarong Pambansa during elementary days before being recruited by La Salle Greenhills.. This NCAA team won the juniors' crown in 2017 behind the heroics of the eventual Finals Most Valuable Player Cagulangan.
College and amateur career
Cagulangan debuted for the De La Salle Green Archers in Season 82, but left after the season due to limited playing time and transferred to the University of the Philippines. Prior to completing his move to UP, he enrolled at St. Clare College during the pandemic, which allowed him to play 4 years for UP without doing residency for a year.
He helped the UP Fighting Maroons claim the UAAP Season 84 men's basketball championship, their first UAAP title since 1986, with a game-winning three-pointer in the Game 3 of their best-of-three championship series against the Ateneo Blue Eagles, breaking the 69-all deadlock with less than 3 seconds left in overtime.
